Peace to the Gods.

This upcoming tuesday/wednesday night is the last show, right?
Glad he's already lined up something else, and 3 hours no less.

I just worry that the change will impact his access to the maida vale performances and maybe change his access to the underground type music he breaks.... hopefully not... I rely on his show probably more than any other source for new music and artists.

Those sessions are one of a kind.
His show is probably the only place where I can hear something new and something old that I've never heard before. The number of artists he's hipped me to - years before they broke big, in most cases - is astounding. Especially considering how hard it is to find some of the music he plays here in the states.

not fitting into what BBC wanted for that station and time slot....

So I'm hoping that he's in the new spot to avail him the opportunity to keep doing what he's doing...and he gets more time to do it.

but you never know.
